Yes, I admit it. I love chaos. At least that is what surrounds me. The icons on my Desktop seem to augment themselves. And I will not even start talking about my bookmarking technique (there isn’t any).
Luckily, I got help. And that help is a newly launched service out of Zurich, Switzerland. Nektoon, a one year old company has launched their first product memonic.
It is a simple but very useful little web service that allows you to capture (= copy) and organize snippets of information, images, maps, texts or websites and organize them. The user interface is similar to Google’s Gmail and users should understand it very quickly.
Above you see my little collection of things. You can group your items in different sets (Apple, CenterNetworks, Inbox) and re-order them. The interface also displays which of my items are public accessible (green icon on the right) and which are not (red icon).
The capturing of new items is very easy. You can either add them by hand with a rich text editor, mail the new snippets or use the memonic bookmarklet. This allows you to browse the web and highlight anything you like. After clicking on the bookmarklet, memonic captures the information and stores it in your collection. As easy as pie 😉 The bookmarklet even works if you are in private sections that are not accessible by others, like the Facebook stream or a private forum.
As far as I know, the business model behind the service is similar to Evernote. User are getting a freemium version with reduced space for items. If they want more space or other functionality they have to pay a low monthly fee.
Behind this magic lies the cloud computing technology of Amazon’s S3. I think it is safe to say that the service can handle a few users. So please, go ahead and register an account (you don’t have to, but it is more convenient). It is free and it helps you organize your chaos 😉
